Did the malays give bangkok its name?

[syed putra]

Actual name for bangkok in Thai is Krung Thep Maha Nakhon

But because the river is bent, Malays called it bengkok.

And ended up as Bangkok.

And nothing to do with ang moh's bang cOCK?

Malays? O please.

 

[syed putra]

Why not? Islands off southern myanmar are called pulo and resided by malays.

I like to hear Thai girls say in their accented english "I like BangKock"

 

[Loofydralb]

Manila is derived from Arabic

MIN ALLAH.

The whole of the archipelago was Muslims until spineless pare got conned.

 

[Rogue Trader]

Indians named sinkapore and Malays named Bangkok..

So what other theories you can conjure up while high on drugs?

I like to hear Thai girls say in their accented english "I like BangKock"

I don't think many tourists especially the tourists going there with their cocks already hard on, are really interested to know the history behind the name Bangkok.
